Also, Falken Tires is still sticking with 1 car in the ALMS (even with an expanding Indycar program), but they're considering a long-term Le Mans effort. It wouldn't be next year, but possibly 2013 and beyond. Who knows, if there's actually rain if they come...
maybe they will run with a lmp pace as happened at mid-ohio

i think he bought, for 3 reasons:

1. team kolles ran the cars for 2 consecutive years (in 2010 with no more a "official team" style livery). Usually the leasing deals are just for one year! i know, team oreca ran the 908HDi for 2 years, but is a different situation, because in 2011 the team had to help peugeot in manufacter champ of ILMC and most of all, because has ever been very competitive with that car in 2010 races (in 2010 the car had all updates, basicly was the forth official car in grid at LM). But team kolles, has never been competitive, even in 2009 LMS was really terrible judging by the cars they had, so why audi had to renew the leasing with a team that was only a shame for audi...

2. audi gave them 2 cars without any update and with the engine heavily tuned down

3. i remember that in late 2009 one of their car (maybe both, i don't know) was for sale and then sold to a collector who however let them use the car at LM 2010 (for this reason i think that team kolles couldn't take part to the 2010 LMS, simply because hadn't the car/s anymore)

I knew better than to expect him to divulge an interesting tid-bit about the Porsche LMP, and yet I read it hoping he would.

The Genesis is the only Hyundai I'd ever want to own, it seems like a fun car to drive.

What about a Super GT entry in GT300?

There is a Hyundai Genesis coupe of JAF-GT300 modified in South Korea.
This is the machine by which the South Korean team converted JAF-GT300 Celica.

Porsche Motorsport's board approved the 911 GT3 R Hybrid for more races, so we could be seeing it anywhere in the sports car world - WEC, ALMS, LMS, GT3, or somewhere else.

For any WEC entry, it'll probably run in GTH (i.e. unclassified basically) as it has done every time it has been entered for an ACO/IMSA-sanctioned race.

Yes, I'm sure IMSA will welcome the car for any round (except Sebring?) Same for the ACO/FIA.
The press release was written a bit strangely though, and I think when it was mentioned that the car
Quote:
...will be aligned in both Endurance World Championship, International GT Open, the American Le Mans Series, European Le Mans Series and the Le Mans 24 Hours. United States alone, as many as four cars will be on track.
they were referring to the regular 2012 GTE Porsche, not the hybrid.

Something covered in the Audi R18 thread--rumor from a source close to Audi Sport says that Audi will enter at least 4 cars at LM this year--2 R18H's and two older (or non-hybrid) R18s. Joest, for sure, will have the R18 Hybrids, but Joest can only enter 3 cars at LM. If Audi does enter 4 or 5 cars (assuming that Joest enters 2-3 and a second team enters two), who would the tender be for the non-Joest enteries, and could they race outside of LM?
